- Do alot of long easy runs to get your cardio endurance up. and once a week push it with a little shorter of a run but hard. Time yourself and try to improve. Also keep your diet where it needs to be:)
- if your goal is that fast then don't be working on easy runs. your already a pretty good runner i assume. push yourself don't run less than 3 miles a day. 6 days a week.minnimum.make sure to go on long runs. run a 10k everyonce in a while. and when you run the 5k keep ur average pace around a 20min. and on fast days aim for your fastest. it really depends on what your time is now though.
